Textsplit() - I had to pull some information from a SQL table. But when it did it, put it into Excel separated by rows, but all in the same column. So I looked up textsplit. Ahhh, but then as it always is with Excel, there was another issue. There was more than one space between the words. so I used my old favorite function trim()
=textsplit(trim(A1),” “)
Worked like a charm

I was analyzing 3 databases and needed to cross references the 3 sources and distilled it into one list and automatically labeling fields based on. Serious parameters. After wrangling with excel for 20 minutes I just asked ChatGPT 4.0 in simple English what I was trying to do and it created a formula ready to be copied into the formula bar. I was blown away with this.
